Here’s some random, unimportant, but amusing information that I just came across. Has-been actor and part-time boxer Mickey Rourke’s obviously taken quite a few blows to the noggin and perhaps all that extensive awful plastic surgery has taken its toll as well. Here he opines on Dear Leader’s performance regarding Iraq:
MICKEY ROURKE has pledged his support for US President GEORGE W BUSH’s controversial foreign policy in Iraq. The SIN CITY actor, who is famed for being for being outspoken, has come forward as one of the few stars to support the war on terror. The former boxer says, “George is doing a hell of a job during very difficult times, more power to him. Screw all them people who don’t like him.”
It’s a hell of a job all right, and no doubt that we’ve all been screwed as well.

Screw all them people who don’t like him.
Because good goddamn, can he relate.
He’s clearly gone insane from the tertiary stage of an infection and now he wants widely share that new dread disease Gonnorrhea Lectim:
Shorter Mickey Rourke: “Heckuva job, Georgie!”
I just don’t get these people that say “you just don’t like him!” in regards to Shrub.
I mean, leaving aside the fact that our feelings about the guy run way deeper, darker, and visceral than mere weakling ‘dislike’ … maybe, just maybe, they MIGHT just think that there could, perhaps, be a reason for that ‘dislike’?
And it’s not just because he’s a dickhead.
You know, maybe there is a reason the celebrities on our side are highly intelligent and articulate people, and those on the other side took too many hits to the head in a previous profession …
Hmmm…. maybe he actually got pummeled upside the head all those times in Sin City. Those bandages weren’t just for show!
Not in the least bit relevant, but I happend to see Mickey Roarke’s bedroom furniture in an antique store near my house today. Maybe he sold it to finance more plastic surgery.
Would that be ‘accused wifebeater Mickey Rourke’?
So, will the same people that are always bleating about how Hollywood types should keep their mouths shut tell Mickey to keep his mouth shut? Does their attitude change when it’s in lockstep with their views?
It’s called Dain Bramage.
Thanks Mickey, can’t wait for Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man II.
Well Rourke’s not a particularly deep thinker. So it’s hardly a major shock to hear him voicing support for Dubya. Indeed have any Hollywood movers and shakers comporable to say Clooney actually voiced approval for Bush?
Liberal America gets to claim multi-talented A-listers like Tim Robbins, Matt Damon and George Clooney. The Neo-Cons get the likes of Chuck Norris and Mickey Rourke.
I saw this one up at Blogs for Bush, you know for people who can’t stop whining about how much they can’t stand “Hollywood”, they sure sound like regular starfuckers anytime someone comes out with anything nice to say about Bush. Everytime Tim Robbins or Barbara Streisand opens their mouth about anything, the first thing to come out of theirs is how they’re entertainers and don’t know anything about anything and should just shut up. Whereas, Chuck Norris and Mickey Rourke are clearly very well-informed individuals with important opinions about world affairs. BTW, I love Mickey Rourke and Chuck Norris, but not for their politics.
Sarah: Good point. On Bush’s side, we have Mickey Rourke. On our side, we have Viggo Mortensen.
No contest.
Yes, George is doing a job of Hell, all right.
Not to mention George Clooney and Susan Sarandon.
SiC:
Not to mention Barbara Streisand and “The Boss.”
Oh, and I forgot: they have that bastion of acting talent, Governor of California (insert name here).
I just don’t get these people that say “you just don’t like him!� in regards to Shrub.
Because, Sarah, to those people politics is all about personality and not policy.
We dislike Bush BECAUSE he started a war of aggression, squandered the US surplus, divided the society and has enacted policies showing him to be a plutocratic pawn.
They dislike politicians, and then go looking for reasons to justify this. Cf Bill Clinton and Whitewater, Vince Foster and Travelgate.
Take any logic class and you begin to see that any defense of Bush hinges on an Appeal to ignorance (No one has ever proved that we were lied to in going to war!), and Appeal to the emotions of the people (We’ve been attacked! We must do X because it will increase our security and make us feel all better!), an appeal to an unqualified authority (George Bush says it’s so, and he’s the president. Thus, it is so.), and a circumstantial ad hominem attack (You’re nothing but a left-leaning coward hippie no-good tree huggin gay loving godless elite latte-sipper! Of course you would say that maybe nuking the entire Arabian Peninsula would be going off the deep-end!) Tell anyone this and you end up with more ad hominem attacks. This debate will never be won with logic, because logic is now illogical. Emotion and value judgements are the new logic.
And come on, who wouldn’t want Aragorn over Marv?
Marv would kick Aragorn’s pasty leaf-hugging butt all over Minas Tirith, and then go poke Sauron’s Eye out for the hell of it.
Of course, we also have Robert Redford and Paul Newman too.
Dude, Aragorn (from the book) could’ve taken on Marv…and probably lost, but still done some serious damage. I’d rather have Aragorn in a pinch.
Most biker/boxer types support violent rightwing or “conservative” policy.
Been in the streets, had rapport with the HAs and others. The problem is that, if you
do enough JD, tequila and drugs, you think more radically in the direction you are headed anyway: tough guy doing whoopass as solution to problems
